    Ya that was the car ,Weird the car was just clean as could be Trunk, underbody ,but the D.S door I think might of been creased at one time? But picked up a Door already. Nice car , Happy with purchase.

    That would have been quite a drive, and without knowing what the car would do even. I know from Port Huron to Muskegon is a long drive, let alone from Columbus.

    Yeah...I saw the door on the thing and wondered what the deal was. It was really rusted out BAD....but the rest of the car looked real nice. Must have been soemthing with just THAT door.

    I just wanted to say thanks to all (here on the board) who stopped by and atleast said Hi to us at Ed Bennett Ford Parts during the Columbus Swap Meet. And a special thanks to those who purchased parts from us. My Dad and I decided at the show that this was our last year to make the trek to Columbus. It will be a hollow feeling next Spring when the first weekend in April rolls around and we're not at the show. The past 15 years have been great but the expenses have finally outweighed the good times and fine folks we meet at the show.

    It was a pleasure meeting you and glad you like the part. Always nice to put a face with a name. Take care.

    Great finds! Jefferson and Iola are the good swap meets up here but it's hard to find Ford parts at good prices.

    Show has been moved up to the last weekend in March next year. It was ALWAYS the first weekend in April. Not sure why they moved it.
